What the People Talk About.

The New DOMINION is going to
be the cause of serious trouble in
my family yet, said Prof. Hodges
to a reporter few days ago.
What in the name of goodness is
up now?" inquired the scribe in a
state of alarm.
"Well, on the day it is due in our
place | must either go to the post
office and read it or wait until the
other folks are served before l can
have an opportunity to peruse its
columns. You see there is regu-
lar scramble to get the paper and
we are all so impatient that none OF
us want to wait for our turn"
''Well, Professor, can't you con
trive some plan to avoid this diff
culty?"
The Professor thought moment
and then exclaimed, II have it.
Here, send me two copiesr' and he
planked down $3.50 to pay for an
other copy, thus restoring harmony
in the family circle at very cheap
rate. ~

You know when a fellow comes here
to watch the train roll in he wants
it to roll and be prompt about it. .
"Well | should think those fellows

then they would be passengers and
have a right to growl."

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of disease is a
slight debility or disorder Of some
of the vital organs, the stomach, the
liver or the bowels usually. There
are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney
and unhealthy looking, there are
pains in the right side or through
the right shoulder blade. The eli
max is often an utter prostration of
the physical energies, perhaps fa-
tai issue But if the difficulty is
met in time with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which is always effective
as a remedy, and it should be resort
ed to at an early stage, there will be
no reason to apprehend those injuri-
Gus subsequent effects upon the sys-
tenn often entailed by entirely cured
diseases. Far better is it, also, to
employ this safe remedial agent in
fever and ague, and other malarial
complaints, than quinine and other
potent drugs, which, even when they
do prove effectual for time, ruin
the stomach and impair the general
health.

The University an Agricultural Expert.
ment Station.

A new feature will be added to
the University within the next year
that will be of great interest to West
Virginia and especially to Morgan
town and Monongalia county. 1t is
the establishment of an Agricultural
Experiment Station in connection
with the University.
At the last session Congress pass
ed bill known as the agricultural
Experiment Bill" which established
stations at all the land grant col
leges and providing that an appro-
priation of $4,000 per annum be
made for each station. The Univer-
sity having been established as an
agricultural college will be one of
these stations. The design of the
law is to provide experimental farms
where practical farming will be car
ried ON under the direction of capa-
BILE men, and also where attention
will be given to the breeding and
feeding of stock.
1t is an important matter to the
community. 1t should stimulate
our farmers to make their institute
permanent and valuable organiza-
ton. There is no doubt that the
Professors in the new department at
the University will meet with them
and frequently deliver lectures at
the meetings.
Besides this it brings to the place
$4,000 each year that must be spent
in our midst and adds to our popula-
ton several useful men. 1t can be
made of great value if the opportu-
mites it offers are properly improved.

Numerous Improvements at the Uni.
versity.

verS1ty.
The executive committee of the
University held session continuing
three days last week. Besides the
usual business transacted at it's
meetings, two very important i'm
provements were decided upon.
These are to heat the new building
with steam and to improve the
grounds. For the heating apparatus
three bids were received; one from
Chappelle & Co., of Washington, D.
c., at $S,907; Trimble 4 Lutz, of
Wheeling, $4,000, and the Duplex
Heater Co., of New York, for 81, 800.
The proposition of the latter was &C
cepted. The work is to be COM
menced at once and completed by
September LIST. This company's
work has a great reputation and the
new arrangement will add much to
the comfort of those who inhabit the
building during the winter. The
old heaters have proved a great nui-
sance. They have on sundry occa-
olOAo oIuOhCu Out OAC occupants
of the building and have ruined the
plastering and paper.
The election Of a professor to the
chair of Mining and Civil Engin-
eering was deferred.
Provision was also made for paint.
ing and calcimining the new build
ing.
The purchase Of the land made
by the Regents at their June meet
ing was closed with the exception Of
a few little details.
One of the best moves made was
the decision to begin improvements
upon the grounds. A proposition
from the Agricultural Department
to improve the grounds under thu
supervision of an officer from Wash
ington was accepted.
The grounds form natural parl
and with proper improvements would
be beautiful place. We hope thu
work may be begun at once.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder.
ed liver is misery, Indigestion is
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation
of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health, But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for bottle. Seventy-five cents.

A Complicated Case of True Love in
Preston County.

According to the report published
in the Argus there has been. during
the past few days, and still exists,
considerable excitement in and
about the town of Rockville, Preston
county. 1t has all grown out of the
love a young man and woman have
for each other and the objections to
him raised by her family. The
names of the principals are Rebecca
Clark and Ross Ryan, the latter a
clerk at Beachy's store. Miss Clark
lives with her parents about a mile
from Rockville, and received and en-
couraged the attentions of Ryan
against the wish of her mother and
brothers. He was finally forbidden
to enter the house again. One day
last week she visited friends in town
and remained over night. Her
mother went to town the next day to
accompany the girl home, but when
they started Ryan persuaded the
girl to remain in town. The mother
went home, and the third day after,
Mr.. Clark received note from
Ryan asking him to come to town
and sign some writing, as he and
Rebecca intended to get married.
The next day the father and three
brothers went to town to take the
girl home. The girl, who had been
staying at the house of Mrs. Hug
gins, consented to go home if her
brothers would stay at the house until
she was out of town. When she and
her father got as far as Beachy's
store the girl pretended she wanted
to make some purchases and entered
the store when the door was closed
and locked. Clark demanded his
daughters release and threatened to
break the door open if she was not
allowed to come out. Ryan replied
that he would shoot him if he at
tempted to do so, and pointed a rifle
from the second story window at
him. Ryan told Clark that the girl
could go home if he would be per-
mitted to go with her, but one of the
brothers objected to this. The
father then started to Brandon
vile for an officer, but before he
got back the girl had been let ont
and was on her way home. Ryan
was arrested and bound over for his
appearance on charge of detention.
1t is said that murder is liable to
result from the trouble.
